A confident Barack Obama raised an extraordinary $7.8 million Sunday at three California fundraisers, most of it in large checks to a Democratic Party committee.

“I will win. Don’t worry about that,” he said to the crowd of about 1,300 at his third event of the evening, according to the pool report.

He was warmly received by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who called him "a leader that God has blessed us with at this time."

Obama echoed some of the themes he discussed when he described Pennsylvanians as "bitter" and stoked controversy three months ago, but did so much more adroitly.

"Now, you want to win. And saying it doesn’t make it so," he told the crowd. "It would be nice to think that after eight years of economic disaster, after eight years of bungled foreign policy, of being engaged in a war that should never have been authorized and should never have been waged, that cost us a trillion dollars and thousands of lives, that people would say, let’s toss the bums out. Toss the bums out, we’re starting from scratch, we’re starting over. This is not working."

“So I understand why a lot of folks are saying, this should just happen. Why are we having to run all these television commercials? Why do we have to raise all this money? Just read the papers. These are the knuckleheads who have been in charge. Throw ‘em out. But American politics aren’t that simple," he said.

"The fact of the matter is, at a certain point, when government has not been serving the people for this long, people get cynical. They tune out. And they start saying to themselves, a plague on both your houses. They are willing to consume negative information more frequently than positive information, for good reason. They’ve seen how promises haven’t been kept," he said.

At the third and final event of the blockbuster evening, Obama again vowed to break the Democratic losing streak by answering Republican charges aggressively and enlisting the American people in his cause.

“I will win. Don’t worry about that,” he said to the crowd of about 1,300.

The candidate was particularly fired up in this speech, confident and assertive, having finally shaken off the vacation dust. He was warmly received by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the hometown gal was neutral during the primary, but wasn’t shy about her Obama affection tonight, calling him “a leader that God has blessed us with at this time.”

Obama spoke at length about the difficulties that many Americans were facing (beyond these four walls at least), hitting similar points from his “bitter” speech, but without the guns and God landmines.

“Now, you want to win. And saying it doesn’t make it so,” he told the crowd. “It would be nice to think that after eight years of economic disaster, after eight years of bungled foreign policy, of being engaged in a war that should never have been authorized and should never have been waged, that cost us a trillion dollars and thousands of lives, that people would say, let’s toss the bums out. Toss the bums out, we’re starting from scratch, we’re starting over. This is not working.”

“So I understand why a lot of folks are saying, this should just happen. Why are we having to run all these television commercials? Why do we have to raise all this money? Just read the papers. These are the knuckleheads who have been in charge. Throw ‘em out. But American politics aren’t that simple.”

“The fact of the matter is, at a certain point, when government has not been serving the people for this long, people get cynical. They tune out. And they start saying to themselves, a plague on both your houses. They are willing to consume negative information more frequently than positive information, for good reason. They’ve seen how promises haven’t been kept.”

Things could get ugly in the coming weeks, he warned.

“They’ve got a whole machinery that they’re cranking out,” Obama continued. “They’ve got a book about me, that just kind of sprung full bore out of this guy’s head.”

“John McCain, all he wants to do is talk about me. They know they can’t win on the issues. So what they’ll do is they’ll try to scare people. He’s risky. He’s risky. We’re not sure.”

It’s an old playbook, he continued, but Obama said, it’s not going to work this time. “Not only do you have a candidate who doesn’t take any guff. Not only do you have a candidate who will hit back swiftly and forcefully and truthfully.But you’ve also got American people who are rising up all over the country and saying, enough is enough.”

Sieg Heil! Sieg Heil! Siel Heil! or was it Obama! Obama! Obama! I don't see much different between the two. A large group morons chanting Obama or yelling hail victory! Just another large group of sheep being led to the slaughter!

"Throw the bums out." Let's start with Pelosi and the other Donothingcrats in the Congress. As to NObama, he's done less than the rest of them to solve our problems during his tenure in the Senate. It will be a dark day for this nation if Pelosi's Puppet wins the White House.

Oxymoron alert! Smart and Obama
in the same sentence! He is an
"empty suit", folks, who can't think for himself. Listen to his answers at the Rick Warren event! Vapid, clueless, thoughtless - literally!
By the way, has he even defined the terms of what he means when he uses the words 'hope' and 'change'?
I think not.

"You know what is frightening is that John McCane said that he would consider a war with Russia over Georgia. That alarming, arrogant, and shockingly dangerous comment alone has proven that John McCane is unsuitable to be President of the United States, or any country for that matter...as he is mentally unstable. Anyone who would threaten to start World War III, or risk it, over Georgia is insane!!! So when you go and vote this November, this is something that even the bigots who would not vote for Obama over his color should be deeply concerned about. Do you hate Obama for being part black, more than you love your children and grandchildren who McCane is threatening with World War III??? If you answer is "NO", you cowards deserve McCane and his Nuclear War!!!" POSTED BY PEZ
Playing the Race Card again! We are sick of it...it has nothing to do with his race...I don't care if he's zebra...why does this always have to come up...TO CONTROL PEOPLE? Secondly....does the word ally mean anything to you? No...because you are backing an unethical candidate.
You think McCain is unstable? Are you a doctor? Otherwise..shutup. Your candidate will kiss up to: our enemies..he is an appeaser. He knows nothing...and I mean nothing about world politics...AND HE LOST THE SADDLEBACK APPEARANCE...BIG TIME...BABY...BIG TIME. When anyone says that his wife and Mommy would be important advisors for the USA...we've got a problem!

Republicans are pseudo-conservatives, and unfit to lead this country. John McShame is the worst of the neocon breed..insular, belligerent, and bellicose. He'll war-monger this country right into the ground while our nation suffers at home, and is reviled in the world. We can't stand that. ==== You cannot solve problems with the same minds that created them ~ Albert Einstein

*********Well, SENATOR Obama and SPEAKER Pelosi have been serving the U.S. Gov't at a Federal level for years. THEY ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM AS WELL. So, if you want to be a purist in your thinking,,,Sen. Obama is part of the "minds" that "created" the problem.

Are we electing a king ,a god or what? Be careful of what you wish for Ms.P. Just ask Aesop's frogs.
Aesop told a popular story of a group of frogs that lived in a lake. They splashed about with nothing to care about and nobody to trouble them. The frogs lived a blissful existence; however, they were not happy. They wanted a king, a ruler, or a chief. So they said to the Creator, ?Mighty Creator,? they cried, ?send us a King that will rule over us and keep us in order.? And out of the sky a huge object came crashing into the lake.
The frogs croaked in excitement, ran for cover, and took a peek. The new king who had made a grand entrance looked solid, stern, and somber. At first they were scared out of their wits of their new king, but as soon as they realized that the frog king was just a piece of log, they climbed, jumped, and trampled all over it. They sat on it, toyed with it, and laughed at it. After a while, they moaned that their king was a useless, hopeless, and powerless piece of wood.
When the frogs were bored with and tired of the log, they again asked the Creator for a more powerful and less passive replacement. The disgruntled frogs said, ?We want a real King; one that will really rule over us.? When they took a look at their new king they hurried and scampered back into the lake and swam for their lives, but it was too late. The new king was a flapping stork that chased them all the way into the lake and feasted on them day and night until they croaked.

"Most of you should be ashamed of yourselves. Regardless of who wins, the insults and innuendo cast about here and everywhere else online proves that we are doomed. Left and right will never work together productively as long we continue to hate each other. 576 comments here - if you deleted everything except fact-based well-reasoned arguments, you wouldn't be left with much. Grow up people. God help us..."----->That's the most Christian and Christ-like thing said on this blog all day.

Sickened -- I feel your pain as ol' Billy C used to say. But there is just so much mis- and dis- and wacko-"information" coming out here that it's virtually impossible to do it justice.
It's like trying to argue with a drunk...pointless. Best I can see is to speak up occasionally and reassure the wingers that they are not alone, and that with any luck, saner minds will prevail in November.
Blather on, wingers...

"I WILL WIN" !!! YES, OBAMA IS TALKING ABOUT WINNING AGAINST HILLARY AT THE CONVENTION. IF HE IS LUCKY HE MAY BE NOMINTED. HE IS SO SCARED OF HILLARY, HOW CAN HE BE A PRESIDENT OF THIS SOVEREIGN NATION!!!!!!
HE IS A PUPPET WITH AN EMPTY SUIT !!!!!!
WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

Listen America - more and more logical people are speaking on these blogs! I am truly encouraged by your participation. Let's put these - Prompter Reading - Flim Flam Obamaman - better known as Barack (Barry) Hussein Obama - supporters to rest. The Democratic party is not the party of my parents who were strict Democrats! They are now the "young" "irreverant" "left wing" "liberal" citizens that spew their disrespect, vulgarity and garbage on anything sound! Please consider not only voting Republican in November for the Presidency - but please vote to oust the Speaker Pelosi do nothing Congress! We need a change alright and it needs to start with the Congress.

Obama is so cocky and sure of himself. I guess he can be seeing how he can say anything he wants to say and get away with it despite people taking offense. Starting with his wife's major slam to America to calling a journalist "honey" when that was so unprofessional. Personally, I think I would have taken the risk and told him off on the spot and watched him sulk which he has done.
Lets not forget the "bitter" remarked aimed at a state that voted for Hillary. I would stay bitter and tell Obama that we voted for Hillary but we won't sell out and vote for him despite her urgings.
He comes up with something even more outrageous in his debate response to the question related to abortions. "..above his pay grade." That was so so outrageous I could not think of a come back at that time. How about asking Laci Peterson's family how they felt knowing that baby suffered when Scott killed her. Does Obama think he should not have been charged for two murders? Or what about the pregnant marine brutally murdered by her boyfriend? Didn't that baby have a any rights. Does Obama think that marine should only be charged with one murder?
Abortions were meant to cut down on coat hanger abortions and butchers who took money and killed women. Not as a form of birth control by irresponsble people who are too lazy to pop a birth control pill, get a patch or put a sock on it.
Unwanted pregnancies are preventable, not above his stupid pay grade which is a lot more than most people's pay I can tell ya.
At least McCain had the decency to take up the challenge of actually going into a real grocery store and seeing food prices first hand and actually talks to people. He may not seem to have answers but at least he doesn't totally insult the intelligence of the majority of Americans but oh I forgot, celebrities know everything because the American people live dull ordinary lives and must be too stupid to breathe..and live.

Enough is enough, is only good if the media report it. That is not going to happen. Obama need to to force the issue every way possible, first through the grass roots, the blogs, the internet, and any media that listens, until a tipping point occurs in the media. This will require a concentrated effort against the corporate media before everyday america hears it!

Obama is a post turtle (You know, when some kid puts a turtle up on a fence post), You know it didn't get there by itself, has no idea what to do while it's up there and you wonder about the idiot that put him up there to start with
LOL change? That's what you'll be left with after this legalized thief gets done with your paycheck
It has nothing to do with race, religion and politics, we have 2 thieves in this campaign. A vote for either of these shills is a vote against America

So Barry Obama continues with his attacks. Why doesn't he just state what he believes in and let the voters decide. He's Pro-Unions, Pro-Choice, Pro-Big Government, Pro United Nations, Anti-War. In spite of dozens of flip flops, these are his hard-cord stances.

Pelosi has the same opinion of Obama that he has of himself.
. A disturbing insight into Barack Obama?s psychological makeup is revealed in three of Obama?s recent comments: (1) Speaking to the student body at Dartmouth - ?A light will shine through that window, a beam of light will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany, and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote for Barack.?; (2) Speaking after a primary victory - ?This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal.? ; and, (3) Responding in an interview as to the definition of sin, he responded -?Being out of alignment with MY values.? ASTOUNDING.
Obama?s commentary clearly identifies him as possessing a dangerously narcissistic personality. He unquestionably has a mental disorder characterized by an extreme sense of his own importance, which readily explains the context of his San Francisco comments where he belittled those living in ?small town? America who he clearly perceived as inferior to his self- constructed status of superiority.
Obama?s admitted heavy marijuana and cocaine use in high school and college may well have played a decisive role in the development of Obama?s inflated sense of his own importance; and, his pretentious demeanor. Heavy drug use can lead to hallucinations concerning ones status of grandiosity. Another clue is Obama?s frequent confused and unintelligible babblings whenever he is subjected to a public forum where he is devoid of a prepared text by his handlers to read from; which is the reason that Obama's controllers will resist any attempt to have their candidate exposed to town-hall style forums.
Unequivocally, this man, who has exhibited a profound lack of common-sense, should never be allowed anywhere near the Oval Office. Greg Neubeck

Vote for me! I am voting for myself, pat B. Let's get out the vote for me, because I will then be in charge of myself. So, if you are me, vote for me, because you can't lose. I will again be in charge of my own actions and take responsibility for them!
yeah!

His arrogance will be his downfall. This man has so much arrogance I cant wait to see his face as he loses. His poll numbers are dropping fast. People are sick and tired of his arrogance. Too much Obama. Hillary would be up 15 pts right now. I am Democrat voting Nader.

After a disgraceful incoherrent showing at the Saddleback Church, Hussein has shown he true colors. Well he support infancide. That's killing babies you dems. He does not want to punish people with babies! I am so confident now that it will be a landslide for McCain. This issue will kill him.
Thrice in the Illinois legislature, Obama helped block a bill that was designed solely to protect the life of infants already born, and outside the womb, who had miraculously survived the attempt to kill them during an abortion. Thrice, Obama voted to let doctors and nurses allow these tiny human beings die of neglect and be tossed out with the medical waste.
He is a disgrace!
NOOBAMA'08

Lol, "the leader that God has blessed us with."
Do the Dems think that Americans are stupid and don't remember their criticisms of Bush for using religious overtones?
Or are they just politicians that will use whatever tools are currently available to them, talking out of both sides of their mouths?
Me thinkest that its the later.
Don't be fooled by the talk, Vote McCain '08.

It makes me laugh that the entire black community (well, everyone except Justice Thomas) is behind Barack Obama. Sure, it would do great things for the advancement of Colored... (oops... only they can say that) African Americans, if a black man is elected President. But, if we remember the words of Martin Luther King Jr., he BEGGED us to not judge a man by the color of his skin, but by the content of his character. Yet, here we are, listening to a man with the shallowest of character content and millions of supporters are jumping on his bandwagon simply because of the color of his skin. It's truly sad to think of the pathetic direction this country has plummetted over the last eight years under Bush and how drastically it will plummet even farther if Obama is elected President. Truly sad. Hope and Change are great rally words, but you can hope for change all you want, but electing Obama is only going to bring disaster. Heaven help us.

Nancy, Nancy, - "A leader that God has blessed us with at this time" ??? More like cursed... If the Obamessiah should win in November, it will obviously be just another sign that the Apocalypse is upon us. And by the way Nancy, how about that separation of church and state? Crossed the line there don't you think? No matter. Chances are no one heard because no one's listening - or reading, as in your latest book... And Barry, you've got brass, I'll give you that. Of course, you can't say anything other than "I will win". But really, who do you think you're kidding. If you lose by less than 10% I'll be shocked!

"The only things wrong with the USA are merely symptoms of the overlying malady that is going to kill all of us. We are afflicted with democrats!"----->I'm all for the red states seceding. The only red state that really contributes anything worth while to the national GDP is Texas, and most of them are a major drain because they don't contribute to either the GDP or the national tax base. In the blue areas, the population is better educated and there is generally a higher standard of living. The cultural, intellectual, and economic centers in this country are all in *blue* areas. You should be thanking the "libs" you crazy wingnuts. So go for it right-wingers, secede. You're just dragging the rest of us down anyway.

The heat is starting to build, and he can feel it....lets see how he handles a little pressure. He is not in Hawaii anymore. A couple of the MSM will eventually ask him a real question, for their own advancement. The question is whether the wheels come off the wagon before or after the convention.

Obama is leader of exactly nothing at this time. If he wins, America loses. Simple. This guy has absolutely NO experience that qualifies him to lead our great nation. Me, I'd take Hillary over BHO any day. She at least has an idea of how things work.

The last I knew we were at war against Muslim Extremist and you people want to elect a man named Barak Hussein Obama with a muslim upbringing and the senator of Illinios the Muslim capital of the U.S.A.. Where he has taken away the right to bear arms from the citizens of that state and now needs the national gaurd to come and help with all the violence. One of the main ways to defeat a country is to divide and conquer and as scary as it is he is doing it and most of you are falling for it. Why do you think Iran and all the other wackos are hoping he gets in. I cannot beleive how blind and unpatriotic the dems are. He is a fake and has no real political background. Don't vote dem just because you hate Bush! GROW A SPINE PEOPLE!

Hey TJ, You've been on this blog all day. You must be one of those liberal leeches we hear so much about. What, can't get enough handouts from the government? Looking for more handouts? Get a job, get a life and stop adding your nonsense to this wonderful Obama/Pelosi bashing fest. Makes me feel great known there are others out there who find Obama and Pelosi a true gift from hell.

To Remember MLK: WHAT!!!! Obama has more character in his pinky finger than McCain has in his whole body. McCain is a two-faced liar. He got in front of cameras with righteous indignation and said "Americans want a respectful campaign without character assassinations, and that's what I'm GOING to give them". He lied just yesterday about being in "a cone of silence" when it's now being reported that he was not for the MAJORITY of Obama's time on stage. He lied right to a veteran's face just the other day when confronted about his record and all of his votes against measures that would have assisted veterans, and once again got self-righteously indignant about it when he knows good and well that he was lying to that veterans face. He's lying about his Religion. When asked before he said that he's not a real religious man, but that when looks into the grand canyon, he feels somethings there. Now he goes in front of Saddleback, and all of a sudden he's a Christian. And that's all that I have time to list right now because I have to go, but oh please, don't give that line about character.

When is he going to tell us what we are going to change? If its the way the world views us I could care less. If its to destroy our Economy by no letting us use energy no thank you. If its to take a giant leap twords Socialism by giving us Government run Healthcare a big no thank you.

"Hey TJ, You've been on this blog all day. You must be one of those liberal leeches we hear so much about. What, can't get enough handouts from the government? Looking for more handouts?

And just because I know how to run multiple browsers at once and come up with responses off the cuff that would take someone of your ability hours to formulate, is no reason to be so jealous. It must have been this little post that got to you: I'm all for the red states seceding.

But luckily for you tards, I'm done for now.

Bill from Exton, PA... very true and very sad. heard an interview with a former nurse that testified infront of Obama, said he fully supports the "late term" abortions as they like to call it, however it's actually a botched abortion in which the baby survives only to be left alone to die within the hours following birth. It's 1 thing to support a women's right to choose and it's another thing to support the murder of an unwanted baby. These Obama-ites are the people that want to tell everyone how they should live, yet they continue to make bad choices and are truley poor role-models.

Why is this even news? He's at a fundraiser and he is running for President. Is he supposed to say, 'Well gee, I may win but I may not. Give me $1000.00 and I'll see what I can do."?
Come on!
I would want a politician to say they are going to win. Why else run?

I just checked my mailbox and today got my copy of "The Obama Nation" from Amazon.com I will start reading this #1 best seller right now I am sure there is a wealth of information on Obama in this 364 page book.

Gotta love Millhouse (thanks, Levin). Almost as much as his vapid, slogan-chanting, mouth-breathing disciples. Just be glad you were born before he gets elected (yes, I'm referring to his abortion position -- look it up). And I dare one Millhouse supporter/fanatic to mention one thing they like about him that doesn't involve the word "change."

Sorry, I really don't want you to win. Thanks to Rev Wright and your offensive comments, I left the party. And your arrogance is out of this world. You are not that great sir. By the way, if Obama wins and things go to crap, who is Pelosi going to blame? Bush?
Posted By: Sues | August 18, 2008 at 01:39 AM
Well Sues Pelosi would have to blame God since according to her God is the one that has blessed us with Obama. This time Bush won't get blamed. God can also curse as well as bless. I think if Obama is elected we only have ourselves to blame and we will suffer the consequences. Maybe then we will have learned a lesson and do better next time. Unfortunatly Mcain is not too much better but he is the lesser of two evils.

Pelosi needs to sit down, shut up and get to work-FINALLY- on trying to say the republicans did not do.... Funny isn't it, they want change-didn't they get that two years ago and they have achieved less then less. Their(congress) apprval rating is even less then the president. I want chasnge to!!!
Every Senator out the door immediately and put someone in that wants to work--NOW!!
Obama is pretty and speaks very wekll, but the only change he brings is his every stance on campaign financing and drilling and foreign relations and... the list just keeps on going and going and going.
Take all the money away and everyone would have to listen to the real issues and more importantly the man delivering the real answers. Without the money O would have no headlines at all. Sorry but true!

I don't know who will win in November, but I can tell from the comments on this thread most of you don't have the slightest knowledge of GOD and His mysterious ways. He uses all types of people(saints, sinners, crooks, heathens, atheists, etc.) to further His plans for this doomed, sinful world. Read the Bible and pray for spiritual enlightment. For some reason GOD put Bush in office. His thoughts are not our thoughts and His ways are not our ways. GOD IS REAL!

Joe's Plan:
1. Allow those men who want to marry men, marry men.
2. Allow those women who want to marry women, marry women.
3. Allow those folks who want to abort their babies, abort their babies.
4. In three generations, there won't be any democrats.
I love it when a plan comes together.

Yah Obama, Yah Socialism. This is the greatest country in the world but it would be even greater if it were Socialist. Obama for Change! Obama for Socialism. Oh, I forgot. Vote Democrat, Vote Socialist!!!

I agree with fred. How in Gods' name did someone with so little political experience gain the nomination for the Dem Party. Are you Democrats so desperate for power that you would cut the throat of your own people? The answer is: YES. Please try to explain this to your grandchildren when they are running and hiding and starving because you self-serving ignoramises(sp?) wanted to put yourselves first instead of your country. I wish I could be President, then I would not only straighten out all these BS immigrants, but I would most definitely have you people arrested for compromising the guiding principals of this nation. Mark my word people, if we allow the Dems to gain this kind of power we will all suffer a horrendous price.

SURE, HE'LL WIN. HE ALREADY HAS. BUT WHAT DID HE WIN????
HE CERTAINLY WILL NEVER WIN THE PRESIDECY THIS YEAR OR EVER. THE MAN HAS BEEN EXPOSED, AND NOW THERE IS INFORMATION THAT THE BAR ASSOCIATION IS SUING HIM FOR LYING AND SAYING HE NEVER WENT BY ANY OTHER NAME OTHER THAN BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.
THIS MAN IS THE MOST SUCCESSFUL LOSER EVER! YES HE WON - - AT LOSING!!!

It's funny how people who don't really believe in God use his name over and over when it is convenient.
As for Barry. One of the most erudite and well spoken men I ever heard was also a criminal and a con man par excellence. It is not what is being said. It is the person who is saying it. And Barry is just another in a long line of democratic con men.
If he wins in November watch your wallet.

As far as Obama'sa experience goes: he served in the Illinois State Legislature, which was enough experience for President Lincoln (who actually won a war). He was also a law professor with a track record of helping REAL Americans, not CEOs. Now, I'd rather have him behind the button than an angry little Napoleon who disobeyed orders and got shot down for it in 'Nam. He also got enough second chances (because his daddy was and Admiral) to crash five aircraft. Let's also not forget that McBush was second-to-last in his graduating class at the Naval Academy. So when McSame tries to capitalize on his time in 'Nam and turn it into an entitlement to the White House, don't fall for it. He's switched positions on everything under the Sun. That 'debate' on Saturday was a a CHURCH with a supposedly 'unbiased' moderator who is a guest on Sean Hannity's conservative talkshow this very minute. What a joke!!!

It's funny how the comments after every politcal story mirror the candidates. The Obama crowd uses logic and reasoning and issues to make their point. The McCain (or anti-Obama) crowd make it a personal attack or fear attack. Scaring people into thinking that Obama is wrong does not make McCain right. If the press would focus on the personal and public failures of McCain, we would see that he is not meant to be President. Who would you rather have represent your country? A bitter, angry old man, or an intelligent, well spoken, motivating statesman?

What I think will happen is you will all start looking deeper at Obama and then see he is the furthest left person to try for the White House since George McGovern.
Nixon, think of it NIXON beat him in a landslide.
Canadian Observer

I personally can't wait for the democrat convention. Every time this guy opens his mouth his poll numbers drop.
Nuance is another way of saying he is hiding his meaning. That works until people start to see that ALL of his speech is nuanced. He appears either to believe in nothing or to fear to say what he believes.
Either way, he looks like a flim-flam man.

The Democrats think that Obama is "a leader that God has blessed us with at this time."
This is how out of touch people are in general about life and truth! Democrat, Republican, or independent, God would not bless a person position or orginazation that stands up for and support abortion..period. Obama in the last tv special with Paster Rick W. that aired on CNN, qouted Jesus by saying "what you do to the least of my children, you do to me" if he really is a christian shoudl sit back and should really think about what that means. " the poor,sick, hungry,homeless,the unborn".

geez, I wonder if it has anything to do with OMAMA-MESSIAH wanting to push alternative energy and THE FACT THAT PELSOI has millions of dolalrs in stock with T BOONE Pckens wind and water initiative.
Ya think?
Here's the proof!
Nancy Pelosi Invests In Energy Scheme and Water Grab By T. Boone Pickens
Nancy Pelosi says that she is trying to save the planet and prevent global warming, but the reality is that, according to disclosure statements, in May 2007 she invested in T. Boone Picken?s clean energy fuels corp., CLNE, which is the sole sponsor of a proposal in California to funnel $5 billion in state funds and $5 billion in Federal funs to this corporation which will indirectly help them create a giant wind farm in the Texas panhandle.An overlooked story in November of 2007 shows that the T. Boone Pickens plan involves the private control of water, which Pickens wants to be able to sell to big cities via giant water pipelines which will be built on land seized under eminent domain.
How did he do this? He did this by pushing through a ?water district? which consists of only 8 acres of land and then applying eminent domain to expand that district and seize land from local ranchers which, in the end, puts vital water resources under his private control.
The Sierra Club, which you might think has an opinion that means something to Nancy Pelosi who just wants to ?save the world?, had this to say, ?We have real concerns about private control of water,? said Ken Kramer, director of the Texas Sierra Club. ?Water is a resource, yet in some respects it is a commodity. It?s as essential to human life as air. That puts water in a different class.?
Pickens plans to sell 200,000 acre-feet from parched West Texas Staked Plains annually. His plan is opposed by water policy planners as economically infeasible. This extensive extraction will affect natural spring flows and the rural Texas Panhandle communities that depend on that water. It will also adversely affect family farming and sustainable development from Texas to South Dakota, according to opponents.
Pickens needs money and he has not been able to find investors to pay for a $110 Billion Bond he wants his new ?water authority? to issue, therefore he is piggy-backing the windmill plan on to the water infrastructure development plan to use the money obtained for the wind farms in order to pay for the water infrastructure, which was his original goal.
While these plans were in the works as of November 2007, with the creation of this ?water district?, the energy company, CLNE, was offered for public investment in an IPO in May of 2007, an IPO that was not advertised, but which resulted in Nancy Pelosi quickly jumping on board. Nancy Pelosi Purchased between $50,000-$100,000 in CLNE stock on May 25, 2007 apparently on it?s initial public offering.
It is hard to tell if the water scheme is the device being used to seize the land or if the wind turbine scheme is the means by which he will fund the water scheme, but no matter what the case may be, Nancy Pelosi will personally profit from whatever he does as an investor.
Nancy Pelosi is one of the richest members of Congress with a net worth of over US$25 million, which comes primarily from investments a large portfolio of jointly owned San Francisco Bay Area real estate, and, now, of course, stocks in CLNE.
While the stock was initially offered at $14 and is now valued below that amount, the low of $10 in early July of this year is bouncing back, especially in light of ads by Pickens and growing consensus that the Pickens plan will gain support, especially if Pelosi is firmly behind it.

We did it. Detroit has restricted Kwame Kilpatricks superdelegate vote for oBUMa, by not allowing him to leave the city and go to Denver to vote. He has a tether on his ankle so we can monitor his whereabouts. Now if all you other citys can get together and restrict your oBUMa superdelegates.

What change do you Dems.want? You want to kill babies, same sex marriage, nationalize medicine,you don't support your own country men in war. Who are you? I tell you who you are, YOU ARE BLINDED by the WORLD. If, when, and after the Muslim is elected, lets look in four years and see the damage YOU DEMocrats have done.
He could not even answer the question "In your opinion Mr. Senator when does life begin? What's up with that?
Prophecy fulfilled, thank you God may Your Will be done.

Tree hugging Pelosi shows her true ignorance. She thinks Obama is a blessing from GOD? Obama supports abortion, killing innocent life. Do you think GOD would bless that? Not hardly! Another reason to show you how messed up Pelosi is. I can't believe she had constituents that voted her in office, but look where she is from.

There must be an election coming up...liberals like Ms. America Nancy are involking God into things. Instead of being on vacation, she should be calling Congress back and working on an energy program. Barry will lose and he will lose by a large margin as more and more Americans see how unprepared he is to lead this country and be Commander in Chief.

Man...this dude doesn't get it and opens his mouth. He says, "thanks to John McCain's president, George W. Bush." Who is Obama's President? More food for the conserv's and undecidedes...what a fool. He had it in hand.

Yep the wingers are coming. From the Huffington Post, an excerpt:
"A few weeks ago, the Huffington Post's Seth Colter Walls reported that Republican officials and outside groups were set to launch a smear campaign against Barack Obama, accusing the Senator of enabling infanticide.
The issue stems from a state version of the federal Born Alive Infant Protection Act, which proposed that any "viable" fetus surviving a late-term abortion receive sustaining medical care. Obama opposed the measure not because he disagreed with overarching purpose, but because of objectionable side-provisions such as a failure to immunize doctors from legal prosecution.
It was, Seth concluded, a ginned-up argument made more complicated by the fact the bill passed in 2005, "free of any other measures Obama had previously opposed."
And yet, the GOP seems hell bent on furthering the line of attack. In the minutes preceding Saturday's values forum with the presidential candidates, Pat Buchanan discussed Obama's alleged vulnerabilities on the issue of abortion before letting it slip that conservative groups were set to hit the Illinois Democrat on charges of infanticide."

I understand the "UMMM Guy" thinking he will win. The Dems have always been the master at the voter fraud game. Its the only way thay can win. But the USA will lose when this Joker has his way. God help us.

I am amazed at how badly Obama, Democrats, and the media have some of you fooled. Obama is arguably the worst candidate to get the nomination in 40 years. He is the definition of an empty suit. He is dangerously misinformed and dangerously inexperienced. He's basically just a puppet. The Democrat party was so starved to get the White House back, they nominated a candidate that will not win and now it is too late to correct their mistake. The lack of substance from Obama is alarming, something that is clear to see whenver he is forced to speak without a prepared speech or a teleprompter. Believe what you want to believe you sorry liberals but it's a steady downward fall from here on out for your "messiah."

Well apparently KJ has never served in the military. He has so much contempt for McCain...Typical liberal! As far as Barry's experience in the Illinois Senate, how many of those times did he vote "Present?" That's a sign of true leadership. But again, someone like KJ would never even recognize what leadership is. Some tool can get up there and tell him he will provide change and the moron is sold. Get ready for the Kool-Aid drinkers to require some serious counseling following Barry's big loss in November...

Is this classic or what? That old retired barfly from San Francisco says he is a gift from God? that old hooker wouldnt recognize god if she were giving him a lap dance!! Ya gotta love the sound bites though!!! you couldnt make this stuff up. This coming from a representative of the largest community of queers in the civilized world. Obama wants to ensure his election by ingratiating himself with everycoksuccer in the country. Well...... alrighty then........ I guess he really is a christian then isnt he!
did you all follow the link to the youtube video. You will **** your pants laughing. this thing should be played at the end of every John McCain ad. Where are the 527 groups when we need them? Here it is:

More truth from HuffingtonPost:
"I was a lifelong Republican until I reregistered as an Independent in 2006, after I just couldn't take the Rove brigade's dirty tricks, lies and slime any longer. When I worked to get John McCain nominated in 2000 I went on many conservative and religious radio shows to plead his cause. I started edging away from the party after seeing the filth the Bush crew got away with.
I know rather a lot about the politics of the "life issues." And I know you know that is true because you are calling me a traitor for supporting Senator Obama because of my leadership in the early stages of the pro-life movement.
You also know that without my late Evangelical leader father Francis Schaeffer's and my work (teamed up with C. Everett Koop) there would have been no Evangelical/Republican pro-life movement as it emerged in the mid 1970s. And on a personal note, having gotten my girlfriend pregnant when we were teens, I also know a little about the heartache that goes along with a very unplanned pregnancy. Fortunately we received the sort of support that made keeping our daughter Jessica possible. It could have gone another way.
That said...I know (as you pro-lifers do if you're honest) that the Republicans have milked the abortion issue, as have the Evangelical and Roman Catholic leadership, for every dime it's worth for fundraising, votes, power and empire-building, without changing much if anything. As I said, I also am fully aware that Senator Obama is pro-choice. I think his pro-choice views are out of character with his otherwise generous and enlightened world view.
The pro-life cause poisoned many of us who were part of it. Me included. It led to self-righteous hubris that extended to a general attitude of hate toward the "other." For instance power hungry strivers such as James Dobson and Pat Robertson took the passion generated by the pro-life cause and fueled their wholly illegitimate war against gay Americans with it, not to mention their multi million dollar empires. Our cause became all about power over other people, money and the muscle to win elections, not about the good of unborn babies and women.
I describe this corruption in my book, CRAZY FOR GOD-How I Grew Up As One Of The Elect, Helped Found The Religious Right, And Lived To Take All (Or Almost All) Of It Back. I explore what happened to us as we were lured by politics and money. So lots of folks who are in the Evangelical/Republican/Roman Catholic establishment and who are still earning a good living through the culture wars hate my book (and me) for spilling the beans."

I agree, THROW THE BUMS OUT. But the BUMS who causes all of this mess are BUSH and CHENEY. Throw them out. I'm counting down the days until those evil fools have no more power in Washington. I will throw a party to celebrate their leaving the White House. But John McCain is not responsible for their failures. John McCain fought Bush again and again. McCain is a true fiscal conservative, unlike Bush the great pretender. McCain fought against going into Iraq with too few troups. McCain fought for the surge which is allowing us to win a lost war. McCain fought against the Bush Cheney Energy bill - the one that gave them billions in tax credits which Obama voted for. McCain stands for competent limited government and fiscal responsibility. Obama can't beat McCain on the issues, on substance, on experience or qualifications to lead so he tries to con us into thinking that we are voting for Bush or Obama. THAT IS A LIE. The election is between McCain and Obama. And McCain is the better man.

"Some of you guys are so f'n racist it's silly. The thought of having a black man as the President is causing some of you to lose sleep yet I have NEVER had any problems endorsing a white man as President.....NEVER!"

Jay,
I'm sitting hear reading these post for my cocktail entertainment and I did not find one comment racist. This is a question of character, intergrity and the ability to lead. Give me Colin Powell or even Condi Rice,but Obama is not Presidential material and that is all the majority on this thread are implying.

I understand and agree with what Pelosi said....
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who called him "a leader that God has blessed us with at this time."
American's should realize that by voting Barak Obama they're not doing any favor to him, but saving themselves and their country for good.If Americans make a mistake of choosing a wrong leader in this election (like they did in 1998 and
2004)when the world is marching forward and making huge progress, America will be sliding backward and that is very sad.
About the Pennsylvanians as "bitter" and stoked controversy.... I can't just comprehend why some couldn't/can't understand such a simple thing, what he meant. It is a human thing, a common phenomena around the world no matter the country or cultural background, when there is no hope, when people are bitter either they turn to god or become bitter,destructive and take guns in their hands to vent their frustration. what you and I ordinary people do when they get frustrated with a situation? Why people try to over analyze what he said but can't just understand the "simple truth'he was speaking about.
Another controversy about the pastors criticizing Obama for saying African-American should take responsibility they?ve serious problems. He is 200% correct. Why not call a spade a spade. Either As a society, or as a nation or just as an individual, the first and foremost thing to recognize, realize and accept there is a problem, I have a problem or we have a problem in our society. Unless you accept and wake up to that truth, you can?t work towards making any progress, make any progress or change the situation for better.
Once should commend Barak for having that courage and honesty to tell the truth. Only people who truly care take dare to speak out, tell you the turth. People who pretend everything is Ok when there is a serious problem is not your friends.
just my 2 cents....

Let me ask White America a question. Did anybody out there have any idea that Black people all over the United states were going to church on sunday and listening to the kind of racist bigoted crap that Reverend Jeremia Wright is spewing? Is anyone as blown away by this realization? Does anyone feel as stupid as I do for trying so hard to kiss their racist asses for the last 40 years. Anyone besides me think its time for the revival of good old fashioned bigotry? Why not? apparently whitey is the only one trying!? My first thought while watching the Rev Wright tapes was "well no wonder they hate us all!!!" As a white american, I want some answers and I want them now!!! I dont give a **** who's feelings are hurt....... I want to know how many blacks are listening to this ****. Why is the word most often used for negro so vile that this site has programmed their computers to filter it out? does it filter out Honkey or redneck or whitey? Why is it OK for every other word in their rap CD's to be Nigguh? How has this country arrived at this? Is white america being sold a bill of goods? Who is this overqualified bus-boy and why are we even considering him for office.

TThis is insulting.
Did it ever occur to Mr. Obama that people (including Dems) are hesitant because they are thoughtful, politically-engaged, critical thinkers who are unwilling to elect a person to the highest office in the land simply because he isn't the other guy? Does he really believe that we are all a bunch of lemmings without an independent thought in our heads?
Talk about arrogance and condescension.

Anyone who criticizes Barry must watch out. You will certainly be labled a racist! That is why he has gotten as far as he has without being vetted...When we truly learn everything there is to know about him it will be too late. He will make Carter look like Teddy Roosevelt!

Does Hussein Obama have a crystal ball and sees the future?
Or perhaps it is his overly inflated ego, that he has the gaul to state he will win?
Why is it, that HILLARY had the popular vote, therefore, she should of had the delegate vote, as any simple math equation would be:
x = populace y = delegates
therefore, x = y and y = x?
HILLARY GOT SCREWED OVER BY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY!!!!!
I will not vote for a self-confessed hater of the Caucasian race, and a self-professed and self-penned confessor of a seller of crack cocaine.
In his book, he said, he sold crack cocaine so he could fit into the group, he wanted to become a member of, the black race, because, he hated everything White, to include his own mother!!!!!!
Also, under his own hand, he declared under his dual citizenship, which he is entitled to, since his father was African and his mother American, he chose to select his father's African country as his primary country of choice for citizenship status under the State Department's selection process.
Therefore, he chose his Arab ancestory, that of being a Muslim, over being an American.
DO I WANT A MUSLIM IN THE HIGHEST OFFICE OF THE UNITED STATES?
HECK NO!!!!!
HILLARY GOT SCREWED!!!!
SHE HAD THE POPULAR VOTE!!!
SHE HAD THE STATES WITH THE BIGGEST ELECTORAL VOTES TO BE HAD!!!!
AND YET SHE IS NOT THE NOMINEE!!!!!
AS A WOMAN I AM VOTING AGAINST THE MALE MEMBER ONLY PARTY THAT THE DEMOCRATICS ARE PORTRAYING THEIRSELVES AS NOW!!!!
HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!
SHE WON THE NOMINEE FAIR AND SQUARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whomever does Pelosi think she is to declare Obama a GIFT from God! Between her and Obama, it is a race for the biggest ego ever!!!
At the convention, if Hillary delegates do not or cannot prevail and overtake Obama, the Dem Party is in for a huge wake-up. By 2012, there will be a new Party, I believe, because conscious Dems cannot ever vote for Obama. Hillary is our choice. Obama's resume is filled with titles and no substance.

Are you talking about McCain who has "poor communition skills" no high education in anything. mccain who cannot talk and think at the same time and has to cheat to answer on faith questions. Mccain who said yes yes no to three questions----on teachers that Mccain was not even asked yet the first one? the man who could not answer on Viagra! Please Obama has no substance? I say you have no brain for surly you cannot see a man with High IQ like Bill Clinton if he slapped you in the face! You wouldn't know how to pronounce the titles to the books Obama has read and studied period!

White Voters for Obama = Useful Idiots.
Wake up, people! Obama and his ilk have been listening to and agreeing with racist traitors like "Reverend" Wright for decades. And you are going to vote for this guy for the highest political office in the USA. I hope you can sleep at night if this joke of a candidate gets enough of you, blacks, Hispanics and Asians to vote for him to put him into office. Stuttering BHO makes Jimmy Carter seem smart. Unbelievable.

how can we vote for such and unexperienced young man when we are facing the prospect of WWIII with the whole Russia crisis? A vote for Obama is a vote for defeat and instability. We cannot jeopardize our nations stability.

It is incomprehensible how so many truly stupid people have been elected to national office. It appears the electorate neither listens to what these fools are saying, or they've watched so many American Idol/Survivor contests that they choose with their guts, rather than their minds. People with homes, jobs, and children, must be self-destructive morons to think that Obama, Pelosi, or some other anti-capitalist political hack will make their lives better by stealing their income, controlling their lives, and brain-washing their children. If I was living in a cardboard box on lower Wacker Drive, I might improve my life by voting for Obama. However, if I have a pot to pee in, I realize when he's through with me I won't even have the pot. Whatever happened to reasoned decision-making?

it's obvious this system of government isn't working anymore...it wasn't designed to accomodate squabbling minorities and the amalgam of misfits that is the demokosher party.....america should and will balkanize and breakup, and the federal government will become irrelevant.

For all you left wing nutjobs let me remind you one thing in all your Bush hating. Congress puts forth the policies, you give Bush too much credit. As far as gas goes, why don't you ask Carter why he didn't begin a process of alternate fule, that little problem has been around for 30 some years, and thank your precious Bill Clinton for vetoing drilling in anwar. It's not any one side that is to blame, they all are seduced by the power and cash. Obama is a racist, just cause he is black doesn't make him immune, and he has surrounded himself with those ideologies, don't bs, he only shook off rev wright after the heat was on about his views. I'd rather have a war hero in the office any day, someone who has seen the horrors of it, than a man who won't cover his heart for the NATIONAL ANTHEM. Obama a patriot? My eye.

Why is it whenever I hear a Democrat invoking God it makes me want to laugh. Nancy Pelosi the leader from Sodom and Ghemorra talking about gifts from God.
Speaking of gifts from God, babies, why is it Barry thinks they're "punishment". And I quote, "I don't want one of my daughter's being punished with a baby."
If Barry was sent from God why would he be for partial birth abortion and why would he have fought against the "Baby Born Alive Act". Evidently Barrack's compassion for God's gifts doesn't include full term babies in the birth canal or babies outside the womb breathing and struggling for life.
Sounds more like Barack was sent by our Lord's nemesis if you ask me.

I think the problem for the Dems is that they had their "throw the bums out" election in '06, and they've ended up showing the electorate two years of ineffectual opposition to the president and the Republicans. It kind of puts a damper on the "throw 'em out & try us" spirit, take it from one who was on the Dem bandwagon two years ago.

lets see,he hates america ! hates those whities, wants full goverment control.is that not communism ? he just loves our troops.and people are actually going to vote for an un-american,white hating,muslim communist.its a wonderful life.

All you people that are for obama to win are about as brian less as he is and you deserve what you get.He hasn't done a thing his entire life but run with radicals and commies and the mind less idiot from kalifornia will live to regret her remarks.

Pelosi actually mentioned GOD and obama as the blessed one? did she give that speech in her own city at that festival where the gays gow down on eachother in full public view?Man this is straight out of the sadom and gamorra bible story.

Take away the teleprompter and the speech writers, and you have nothing but an empty shell with Obama.
Remember, Obama says he's going to "Call my wife and then my Grandma" in the response to the question "Who would you call in a crisis".
2AM, Washington D.C., White House
Caller: "Sir, Russia has invaded Poland, what are your orders?"
Obama: "Some one get my Grandma on the phone, quick!"
Nice....

Thank you to all those who voiced your opinion here. But especially to those who may have spoken for the very first time - I love you for your courage! The - Prompter Reading - Flim Flam Obamaman - also known as - Barack (Barry) Hussein Obama is on his way out! He will not win in November - because no one in America knows who he is! He is a man for - all seasons - and all people - he is a chameleon - he changes depending on who he is talking with. Always having to explain what he says and what he means - is that the kind of President we want? From the comments I have read here - methinks not! Thank you for speaking up for the American way!

If God is a Democrat then the last debate shouldn't have been arbitrated by one of his cronies. I'm voting McCain because he's not a religious fanatic, and I despise religious fanaticism in all its variates (no matter which mythological monotheism it comes from). Religion has its place in our private homes (if that), and it shouldn't rear its ugly head in governmental affairs. Obama is a decent enough man, but his extreme leanings scare me more that Bush does.

I'm tired of these religious zealots on the left using their spiritual convictions as a means of forcing their beliefs on us. I thought Democrats believed in separation of church and state. Pelosi seems to think this a theocracy, that Obama has been hand-selected by "god" to rule over us. No one but Nancy Pelosi knows what "god" thinks, so the rest of us just need to fall in line. "Religious Right???"--I don't think so. The real religious bigots are on the left. Only their version of religion is correct, and their "god" picks our leaders. Here's to democracy!

This man is a joke! Look at his voting record...it is a joke! He is full of himself isn't he? My how I hope he falls hard in November. Having him and his wife in the white house is the worst thing that can happen. Go McCain!

Sadly, for the Republicans to win, all they need to do is tell the truth about who Obama is and reveal the many lies he has told. I'm embarassed to have such a sneak oil sellsman as my candidate. It's like putting the valet parking attendent in charge of General Motors. Doesn't experience and ability count anymore. I shudder to think that this clone of Jimmy Carter could be elected to destroy our nation.

Mz Pelosi, sure has her problems with what is in the Bible. She is saving the world, Obama is saving the world, Obama is the chosen one sent by God! Mz Pelosi does this sound familiar: "Tho shall have no false Gods before thee"? I also believe there just might be something about false images......Get a grip ppl

Hey Guys,
I checked this out and it is true.
Check out these links and pass it on.

For all you doom and gloom deficit worry warts,
consider the following when casting your vote in
November.
A president's pension currently is $191,300 per year.
Assuming the next president lives to age 80. Sen
McCain would receive ZERO pension as he would reach 80
at the end of two terms as president. Sen Obama would
be retired for 26 years after two terms and would
receive $4,973,800 plus annual COLA increases.
Therefore it would certainly make economic sense to
elect McCain in November.
How's that for non-partisan thinking?

Just a note to Pelosi God would never want someone in the White House who supports abortion rights. But, God gave humans free will so here we sit. With an Anti-American running for president of the United States.
Ohhh, and someone should tell Obama that we only have 50 States, and not like 57 States he claims we have.

Nancy Pelosi the pro-abortion Catholic grandmother leader from the city of Sodom and Ghomorrah (San Fransicko) says Barack Hussein Obama is a gift sent by God. Now that's funny for a "change"! Thanks for the laugh San Fran Nan.
The young are so easily deceived because they're so quick to... hope." -Aristolte
The times change but the people don't. Barack's entire campaign is built around utter nonsense "hope and change". The Democrats as usual are playing to the lowest common denominator the young that haven't a clue about real life, the uninformed, and the miscreants and losers looking for a hand-out!

Democrats set up this election to have one of two novelty items win their primary... One was hillary clinton that would have possibly caused the irony of Bill as first man. Oh so quaint. Why don't we just put him in charge of the interns. Then we had obama, the black guy that talks white but doesn't say anything. He is novel becaue well... he is all men, and all religons. he is a mystic, a rock star. And any question he does not wish to answer he says is above his pay grade. A lot of women base life on the notion that everyone take turns. So liberal women are saying it is time for a woman president or time for a black president, as if this was a sharing experience. Both democratic candidates are unqualifies. hill is garbage, obama is a big zero. Let's throw in Edwards, another democratic screwing around on his wife. Yes.. but all democrats do that. Oh... Ok, here I though it showed you had no respect for your wife and family. Excuse me.
The republicans are running McCain. I have no idea how this guy calls himself a republican. He is a democrat too. He is sort of a novelty too. Stuck in a POW camp for five years trying to survive. Not an easy life but at least that took some courage. So if you are voting for personal human qualities, the McCain has it all over the rest of the Democratic ticket. I am pretty obamaed out. While some woman rave about his "good looks", in reality he has a pin head and blue lips. microcephalis idiots yelling "man the box cars" aren't really all that attractive. But remember to play nice you have to take turns. Right... You don't win 8 gold medals waiting to take your turn. "you're too fast a swimmer so you have to give everybody else a head start." This is generally why the Chinese and Indians are going to be eating your chilren's lunch over the next 25 years. Obama is no match for the Russians. When all is said and done, I guess in the end, I am going to be voting for my own race. I am not interested in turning this country into a taxed out welfare state where I have to pay for everybody's illegitimate random interracial experiment. That is not the America I came from or want for my children.

What's scary is that there are so many morons in this country who believe an Obama socialized country is for them. What happened to America, the land of freedoms and democracy. Obama will take us down. And we think we should be blessed because God sent him to us? Pelosi, you are the biggest of the morons.

Although I am one of those nasty conservatives who clings to my guns and my Bible I am looking forward to Obama's ascent to the presidency. I am looking forward to his ascension because I cannot wait to see the "messiah's", "San Fran nan" Pelosi's and "Dingy" Harry's actions when the next 09/11 happens in the USA. I cvan't wait to see how this triumverate passes the blame. Maybe they will even be able to get it back as far a Nixon. One thing I know for sure is that the wise threesome will not take decisive action because the three of them combined could not come up with a total of two testicles. The best they could do is one -- but "San Fran nan" probably would not want to give it up.

Liberals really are mentally handicapped. The nonsense on here is revealing of these pseudo intellectuals. Arrogant. Condescending. Just like their golden child, that white guy Barack. How come he doesn't identify at all with the white side of his family, the one that actually raised him?

I am sick to death of all the hatred in this country. Please people. Think for yourselves for a change. The only trouble America is really in is the massive debt we have. This will not change by just words. The Democratic Party, which is not your fathers or your grandfathers party has been taken over by extreme left radicals. They have been governing the past two years in case you Democrats don't read. Pelosi and Reid are both Democrats and they are in control of congress. I'm not saying that the Republicans have a perfect record with their wild spending habits but seeing that at least 70% of the population believes that we should be drilling for oil shows me that, " we the people" have it right and not those that are controlling Washington. Barack is for change. So was Fidel Castro and Adolph Hitler. How did this help the Cubans and the Germans. You should all know the answer to that. McCain may not have all the answers, but I believe he is the best person for the job at this point in our history. Please don't cast hope on an inexperienced manboy who disrespects our Country, our Flag and our Military just because you have Bush derangement syndrome.

Obviously Nancy Pelosi has seen John McCain's "The One" ad. She too believes Barack is a gift from God.

If Newt Gingrich, as Speaker, had ever referred to anyone God's gift to mankind, he would have been ridiculed. Nancy Pelosi says it and she is praised. A little bias in the news???? Give me a break. Obama is not God's gift to mankind!

Dear God,
Thank you for sending Obama to my rescue.
Bill Gates is filthy rich and I am not.
Hopefully, Obama will make an equitable split from Bill Gate's illgotten riches and send some my way. Make me happy!
Thank you thank you thank you.

"He was warmly received by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who called him "a leader that God has blessed us with at this time."
So sayeth the mother of the reality based community. Thanks for the large serving of piety Nancy. Glad to hear we're having hilarity for desert. Can't wait!!!

A leader that God has blessed us with? What a moron! Which bible is P reading that she thinks God would "bless" us with an abortion loving, gay marriage supporting, tax raising, white hateing Marxist. Uh, uh, uh, change. Uh, duh, uh hope and uh that other stuff. B.H.O or B.O. if you prefer is proof that a shoe stamped with Democrat could win the nomination. I can't stand Mclame but even that dork can beat the Acorn organizer.

One of you Morons suggested that by electing McCain, that we would suffer @ the gas pump. This if from a dumbsh*t supporter of Obama who doesn't even support drilling for our own oil, for which TALKING has already brought down the price $ 34...
Obama: A Racist of a different color;
Obama: An inexperienced punk
Obama: The White-Guilt crowd's PERFECT candidate - smart enough to SOUND SMART, and JUST THE RIGHT COLOR...
Live with the truth....
$ 12 gas if you elect him... at least... maybe more..

What it boils down to is this country is a center-right country politically.We have rejected the McGovern's and the Stevensons' of years past.When we did last put in a liberal he was the most disastrous Presidents in our history ..... Jimmy Carter. Mr Obama is another version of Carter, talk and negotiate,widfall tax on oil(which made us stand in gas lines for 7-8 hours) we cannot let this country be pulled to the furthest left wing of the democratic party.

He is quick to say we have thrown $1 trillion away to fight terrorism but even quicker to want to throw away $1 trillion for the Global Poverty Act that will end global poverty just as quickly as we have eliminated poverty here at a cost over $1 trillion.
And then there's Nancy introducing him with wide eyes and a wet leg.

Pelosi calling Obama Gods choice? If a republican said the same thing the talking heads at PMS NBC would be apoplectic. These Libs are so phony.
Pelosi had a 9% approval rating. Obama has no experience at all. How about his attack on Clarence Thomas. Obama said thomas wasn't experienced to be SCOTUS? What makes the empty suit from the MOST CROOKED political city in America qualified to be POTUS? 44% in the latest Gallup. Biden for VEEP? haha Exactly what has that bloviating blowhard ever done? Even if Obambi wins he will be ineffective much liek Carter. Ask anyone over 45 about HOW miserable a failure Jimmy the anti semite carter was.. Obambi the fake and fraud...

Gee bablan are you saying that 10 words at a time is all you can handle?

No. What he's saying is that alot of us are tired from WORKING (I'm generously assuming that you know what 'work' is ) and have no wish to decipher Obama's pretentious gobbledygook.

How many times in the Bible has there been someone who was so presumptupus, that God smacked them down? Plenty of times.
Who doesn't think that the Magical Negro will suffer the same fate of hubris? After all, his entire resume can be written on a business card-- Hey! I'm black... and not Bush... and I read a killer speech in 2004! Don't vote against me, whitey, because to do so would be racist!

I can hear it now. "Will win" will equal "arrogance." The country has joy over Obama because nobody has his stature. Saw the author of Obamanation on C-Span, saw the Investors Daily calling him a worm reacting to the Georgia/Russia matter.... There is genuine relief in our reaction to this man, and we fully expect the further ugliness.

Maybe Pelosi's "god" has blessed us with Obama, but God clearly has not. God does not condone a perpetual holocaust of over 46 million children for the sake of convenience and Obama is as guilty as any other Pro-Death politician. BTW he voted 3 times to allow the killing of an accidently born abortionee, "lest any escape!!"

OBAMA SHOULD NOT BE PRESIDENT! He lost the debate the other day, and people are still jumping on the Obama bandwagon, even the media! This guy is not only inexpierienced, but very arrogant to be running for president when he hasn't even finished a full term in the senate! We need someone like McCain in office because there are dangerous times what lie ahead, and the last thing we need is a cocky no good for nothing rookie senator trying to take the most important job in the world! OBAMA WILL NOT WIN!

I like the post from the guy above. Pelosi said "Obama is a gift from God". What a laugher, she wouldn't know God if he was talking right in front of her. obama is nothing more than a maroon. Talking down to everyone except for the people who give him money. No wonder so many people dislike/distrust him. I must say though that his resume is top notch. What with the whole 2-3 yrs he has spent as a junior senator and not being able to find a way to get over to another country to check on things. I mean heck, he is only the leading committee man on Afghansitan and still doesn't know anything about it. He would really be great as a leader of this country. The man can't find his way out of a paper sack

Wow....as if Pelosi even has a clue what is of God and what isn't! Her opinion of what God endorses carries no weight. I highly doubt she spends any quality time with the Lord to know what his will is regarding the nation and it's leaders. If she or Obama ever connected with Almighty God and heard his voice, there would be a major shift in their value systems let me tell you. They would be taking a serious stand for righteousness in our land real quick. Unfortunately her comments are just more typical political drither!!

Don: HAS IT EVER OCCURRED TO YOU THAT YOU MIGHT BE WRONG????
Has it ever occurred to you that ?the border? is not the threat you think it is? Has it ever occurred to you that the 9/11 killers FLEW IN THROUGH NE CANADA, and did not walk in through the SW from Mexico???
Has it ever occurred to you that President Bush is more intelligent than you are? Has it ever occurred to you that Condi Rice is smarter than you are? Has it ever occurred to you that ALL OF THE ELECTED OFFICIALS WHO DO NOT SHARE YOUR HYSTERIA ARE BETTER INFORMED THAN YOU ARE???
If believing the boogey-man is coming over the Mexican border, in the form of lettuce pickers, is what keeps you bothered, then it's a good thing that you are not in charge of anything.
I feel sorry for your brain! Even it deserves a ration of TRUTH from time to time. Your misguided hysteria is just plain embarrassing.
I am a conservative Republican with a political science degree, and the ability to read, conduct do my own research, to comprehend facts, to separate facts from fiction, and to reason in order to draw proper conclusions. I don't believe hysterical garbage and I feel sorry for anyone who relies on junk to feed their brain. I haven't believed the nonsense you are counting on for decades! Aren't you ever tired of being WRONG???? Geez, get a clue and stop banging that tired old drum.

You all should stop to consider that what is most dangerous and scary about Obama is that his formative years were not spent in the USA. That is why he really does not understand American exceptionalism. For a guy to make a comment like "the bomb that was dropped on Pearl Harbor" demonstrates a real lack of internalizing the American experience. That the left does not understand is proof of their blind spot. They hate America as much as Obama's wife. Dick Morris is right when he points out that Obama will put this country into a full fledged depression, precisely because he does not love America.

making other countries pay for what we consider to be sinful behavior . We punished iraq, but now we feel the need to punish russia. Are we minding our own store amidst the keeping our nose in the politics of every nation. Meanwhile we are going to pot. Save thine own self .

Most every post I read here says trust Obama or trust McCain and I believe you are nuts.
Lesson from history:
NEVER TRUST A POLITICIAN NO MATTER WHAT PARTY THEY ARE IN. THEY ALL LIE THROUGH THEIR TEETH.

By the way, you can tell the truth in a book about Obama and it'll be reason as a lie. The Messiah can't be talked about - he's better than all his socialist -terrorist - god*&*&@ America friends and acquaintences. He may win since people want the government to do everything for them. We don't want to be at war with Al-Quaeda, Iraq, Iran, or Russia - we don't want to be at war with them even though there at war with us (according to the 911 commission). Obama is a non-acting, non-credentialled "community organizer" and nothing more. A man who wouldn't even have voted for Judge Clarence Thomas because he was "inexperienced" - I mean, didn't have enough tenure to be allowed the position. What a joke that any thinking person would vote for such an opportunist with his only qualifications are that he speaks well, looks good, but can't even give you a straight answer on when life begins. Chase 'em around the delivery room "Barry" - "Hussein" - you're a joke!

Of course Obama will win. The majority of voters are to stupid to research for themselves. Windfall profit taxes on oil just means that tax gets passed on to the consumer, adding a ten cents federal tax to gas at the pump negates the thousand dollar energy rebate he's "giving" away. For every "handout" he offers there's a tax to recover it. Tax-Spend same old Dems just a different face.

Yes there is no question that Osama (excuse my Ted Kennedy error) Obama will win because he has a plan about energy.
At this very moment, 96 million tire pressure gauges are being made up with the words Osama (excuse my Ted Kennedy error)"Obama Saves"

Obama makes bold statements like "I will win" ... but, Obama doesn't deserve to win. After all, what has he done? What qualifies him to run this country ... working as a community organizer, followed by being a junior senator who spent his 16 months running for President. But, the point that's bigger than the fact that Obama doesn't deserve to win, is the fact that the American people deserve much more than an empty suit like Obama. The American people deserve an experienced qualified leader, who truly loves this country ... a leader who can competently guide us through all the challenges that are currently facing this country ... and, that leader is Senator John McCain.

God bless you, Nancy Pelosi, but at times you fall into Satan's snare, and thus allow yourself to become the epitomy of what the Apostle Paul wrote of when he stated that when in church, women should keep their heads covered and their hands over their mouths. In your case, this wisdom should be adhered to while you are outside of church, as well as while attending church service.

God blessed us with Obama? lol I don't know what gave Nancy Pelosi that idea but a man who supports gays and abortion isn't exactly a blessing from God. To qoute from his mentor of 20 years, the great "white hating" Rev Wright; Not God bless Obama. God d@mn Obama!

Proof of Obama's appeal is in the fact of all these scared/hating/war thirsty conservatives obsessing over him 24/7. Obama is the 1st thing they think of when they wake up and the last thing they think of before they go to sleep.
Don't let your fear of a new direction or possible higher taxes lead you to support 4 more years of Republican misery. Do really enjoy $5 gas? Any sane person knows Bush/Chaney/Rumsfield/Rice/Powell have not led (in fact they've lied). Obama has already shown that he isn't afraid to lead in a positive direction.

I can not belive his speech at the fundraiser in california and Pelosi thought God has sent Obama to us. She must be a real space cadet. Obama keeps talking about the disatrous 8 years of the Republicans, but he fails to mention that the Democrats have been in command of the house and senate for 3 1/2 of those eight years and that they have a lower approval rate than the President. I don't think God would have sent us someone with Obama's beliefs, I don't think sensible Democrats feel like Pelosi.
